Hi Gary,
Great realistic poem. I hate that it is realistic. Soooo true… It can both be painful and stay embedded in our minds until we are consumed, or we can grieve and move on to better things. Of course, the hurt will still be there, and we have to be careful that when the next one comes along, we do not offend and hurt the way we were hurt. Wonderful as usual!
On a side note, I am reading other stories on here, but you still remain my favorite (LOL). I have not gotten Shawn to read any others; your stories are the only ones he is interested in right now. Thanks please continue to do what you do!
